I make a vegetable soup in the blender with a brick of tofu, 1 cup broth, seasonings, and either a small container mushrooms, a box of thawed frozen spinach, a jar of roasted red peppers, a few zucchini, or whatever sounds good to you. I have a Vitamix, which blends and heats, but if you don't, you could cook on the stove and then blend with a stick blender.
